DraftKings EuroLeague Guards:

With Larkin and Mirotic both out, that means Vasilije Micic is going to carry high ownership and with good reason. He has been great with Larkin out. However, if you can only afford one Efes guard, maybe Krunoslav Simon is the way to go. He actually has better numbers than Micic and is almost $2,000 cheaper.

Nick Calathes is still one of the most consistent EuroLeague plays around, but his ceiling isn’t near what it used to be. He is a cash game only play at this point.

There is a massive dropoff between the top tier and the value tier. The only middle tier option that is even worth considering is Marius Grigonis. Zalgiris statistically has the best matchup on the slate. He could flirt with the output of Simon or Micic today.

Rodrigue Beaubois is going to continue to play good minutes until Shane Larkin returns. He is still good enough to put up solid numbers, but it’s hard to pay more for him that Rokas Jokubaitis. Once again, Jokubaitis is one of my favorite plays on the entire slate.

This is a tough matchup for Marcus Foster, but it’s hard to ignore someone with his talent at this price. If you need to dive into the value tier, Foster is one of the more talented guys you’ll find down there.
